"Liangzhou Ci"
Author: Wang Han
The luminous cup of grape wine reminds you to drink Pipa immediately.
Lord Grim is lying drunk on the battlefield. How many people have fought in ancient times?
Notes:
1. Luminous cup: a cup made of white jade.
Rhyme translation:
The newly brewed grape wine is filled with luminous cups;
Just when I was about to drink happily, the sound of pipa immediately reminded me.
Even if you are drunk on the battlefield, please don’t laugh;
Since ancient times, when men went to war, how many of them returned alive?
Comments:
The poem is a famous song about the cold scenes in the border area. The whole poem is about a feast in the harsh and desolate frontier fortress, describing the scene where the soldiers drank happily and got drunk to their heart's content. The first sentence is colorful and beautiful, and the tone is clearer and more pleasant, showing the luxurious style of the feast; the second sentence uses the word "want to drink" to further describe the lively scene, and the banquet is added with music to deliberately exaggerate the atmosphere. The third and fourth sentences are extremely descriptive of how people consider and encourage each other to drink, to enjoy themselves to the fullest, to be happy and forget their worries, and to be bold and open-minded. Regarding these two sentences, a retired scholar from Hengtang commented: "The broad-minded speech makes me feel doubly sad." Commentators have always thought it was sad and sentimental, and they hated war. Shi Buhua's "Poems of Xian Maid" written by Shi Buhua in the Qing Dynasty commented: "If you write sad words, it will be easy to read, but if you write humorous words, it will be wonderful to read. It is up to the scholar to understand." Judging from the content, there are no words about disgusting with the military career, and no meaning to lament the loss of life. , it is hard to criticize the pain, it is sad and sentimental, it seems reluctant. Shi Buhua's words have depth. It has been famous throughout the ages, and has many opinions. Different people have different opinions, and scholars can realize themselves.
